In order to strengthen its position in the high-end market, Intel is expected increase its collaboration with Taiwanese server manufacturers. The technical support provided by Intel will help Taiwanese server manufacturers to move into high-end server production. If Taiwanese companies can take full advantage of this opportunity it will be easier to secure orders from major international vendors in the future, enabling the Taiwanese companies to increase their profits.
Following the merger between HP and Compaq, the volume of orders now being placed by HPQ is smaller than before. The question of whether other major international server vendors, such as Dell and IBM, will outsource more of their production in the face of increasingly fierce price competition remains to be seen. Either way it will have a major impact on the Taiwanese server industry's shipment volume.
